Horsecrap. Using the logic of the judge in the Hazelton case, local communities could not enforce state traffic laws such as requiring registration or insurance. It is pure nonsense.

Well then, why don't YOU go out and make some 'citizen arrests'?

Round up all you can find and hold them until you can call the police to pick them up. {{{smile}}}

Well, most state laws regarding citizens arrest require one to witness a probable felony in progress. Given that illegal entry into this country is not always a felony, and given that, in Pennsylvania, it's pretty hard to witness illegal entry unless you see a raft of illegals coming across Lake Erie from Canada, citizens arrest is generally not a viable option in countering illegal immigration where I live.

Better to allow local governments to require that someone seeking a legal residence show they are legally allowed to reside here. A rather commonsense notion that is only undone by activist judges who discover some kind of right for illegals to be illegally in the country and not be subject to government taking action against such.
